My office is in San Mateo, California. I also offer virtual therapy to clients across the states of California, Florida, Hawaii, Idaho and Missouri.

There is a parking lot available at my office.

A standard therapy session is 45 minutes long.

You can email me at [email protected] or text me at (650) 906-3978 to schedule an appointment.

 I accept payments via Zelle, personal check, or your bank’s bill pay service.

 I do not accept insurance directly, but I provide a superbill for clients who wish to seek out-of-network reimbursement.

Yes. I have a 48-hour cancellation policy.

 I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation to help us determine if working together feels like the right fit.

I work with clients ages 3 and up.

We’ll discuss your concerns, history, and therapy goals. If EMDR is appropriate, I’ll introduce the process and answer questions. The first session is about building trust and creating a safe space.

Clients describe therapy with me as challenging, rewarding, and transformative. I take an engaging, results-driven approach to help you heal and grow.

It depends on your needs. Some clients see progress in a few months, while deeper issues may take longer. My goal is lasting healing, not just quick fixes.

Yes, many clients cry during therapy. It’s a safe, supportive space where deep emotions can be expressed freely. Crying is often part of the healing process and a sign of meaningful engagement in the work.

No. You are in control of what you choose to share. Therapy unfolds at your pace, and I’ll support you in feeling safe to open up when you’re ready.

 I offer video sessions, but not phone sessions.

The therapeutic relationship is key to effective therapy. If my approach resonates with you, I invite you to schedule a free consultation. That conversation—and perhaps a session or two—will help you decide if we’re a good match.

Not at all. Seeking therapy is an act of strength. It shows a willingness to face challenges with courage and invest in your own healing and growth.

While friends and family can offer support, therapy provides a professional, structured, and confidential environment to explore deeper issues and work toward lasting change—especially when it comes to trauma and long-standing emotional patterns.

Therapy with me is an active, problem-solving process. While I listen, I also help uncover deep-rooted issues and provide tools for lasting change. Sessions may include structured discussions, skill-building, occasional homework, and EMDR where appropriate - please see the Trauma and EMDR section of this website for more information on the treatment modality.

Yes. My Christian faith fuels my commitment to compassion, restoration, and hope. At the same time, I welcome clients from all backgrounds. For Christian clients who wish to include their faith in the therapy process, spiritual themes can be thoughtfully integrated into our work together

Yes. Therapy is confidential, with exceptions only in cases of child abuse, elder abuse, dependent adult abuse, or serious risk of harm to self or others. Otherwise, everything you share remains private.

 I’ve been in practice since 2011.

Bring a combination of depth, training, and life experience to my work. Before becoming a therapist, I spent the first decade of my career in business and tech, including some years at McKinsey. That background helps me understand complex, high-pressure lives — and the need for meaningful, lasting change.

Clinically, I specialize in trauma therapy using EMDR. I’ve been a Certified EMDR Therapist since 2015 and have successfully used the approach with hundreds of clients. One of my key strengths is recognizing and treating dissociation — an often overlooked aspect of trauma. Many clients experience dissociation without realizing it, and addressing it can be essential for making EMDR safe and effective.

I integrate deep clinical expertise with compassion, curiosity, and a steady commitment to my clients' growth — emotionally, relationally, and spiritually.

I find it deeply rewarding to witness clients move through pain, rediscover hope, and build more fulfilling lives. Supporting that transformation is what makes this work so meaningful.

Yes, I have. My own therapeutic work has been a cornerstone of my growth and helps me bring deeper empathy and insight to my clients.

I hold a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology from Santa Clara University, an MBA from Stanford University, and a Bachelor of Engineering in Computing from Imperial College London.

No. Only medical doctors, such as psychiatrists, can prescribe medication.
